Wow, it has been awhile since my last post...life has been busy. A move, building a new home (well my hubby has been building it), a new baby, summertime fun. I also haven't been sewing much since we are living in a little rental house for now with no room to keep my sewing machine set up but I did haul out my little machine for a few small projects. These photos are from my Instagram account. Follow me there to keep up with what I'm up to!

A custom order baby bonnet. Some burp clothes.

Trying to use up some of the fabric scraps by making a scrap fabric wreath and some bean bags.

I got some fun mail in July and was excited to see I was featured. Thanks Homespun!

I don't think I've mentioned it on here, but
we recently sold our house and will be moving the end of this month. While packing up the fabric in my sewing room, I came across this fabric in my stash and decided some sewing was in order. I used this quilting weight cotton along with some blue/gray linen to add an outfit to my youngest daughter's wardrobe. The top is the Squared Neck Top by Tie Dye Diva. To make it easier, I used a snap instead of buttons on the back. For her shorts/capris, I used Dana's Basic Pants tutorial.

I finally made a trip to SR Harris Fabric Outlet (loved it!). I picked up some quilting cotton as well as some knit fabric. With some of the knit, I made a new summer outfit for my daughter. The top is the Miss Mary Mack Tunic and the leggings are the free Leggin's patterns by Love Notions. This cute tunic was easy to sew up, as were the leggings (and I love the comfy waistband on these!).

It's Kids Clothes Week this week, and while I didn't sew these clothes this week, I haven't shared them on here and thought it would be a good time to do so. I used Rae'sJust Hatched Leggings and made a few pairs. This is half of what I ended up making! :) It felt good to use up some of the knit fabric I had stashed while cleaning and packing up my sewing room. Less fabric to pack and store now!

A finished Dizzy Spell quilt for my husband. I used Lotta Jansdotter's Glimma collection, which I won a bundle of in a giveaway quite a few months ago and finally found a good use for it! I didn't use any batting in this quilt, just backed it with a flannel
sheet. I really like lap quilts without batting as I find it makes them
more comfy. I also didn't want this quilt to be too warm that my
husband wouldn't use it!
